Whakakitenga 2
1 Tuhituhi atu ki te anahera o te hahi i Epeha; Ko nga kupu enei a te kaipupuri i nga whetu e whitu i tona matau, e haereere ana i waenganui o nga turanga rama koura e whitu;
"To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:
2 Ka matau ahau ki au mahi, ki tou uaua, ki tou manawanui, e kore hoki koe e ata hanga ki te hunga kino: kua whakamatautauria hoki e koe te hunga e mea nei he apotoro ratou, a ehara, kua mau i a koe he hunga teka ratou:
"I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
3 I whakamanawanui koe, i mahi tonu, ahakoa pehia, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, kahore hoki i hoha.
You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
4 Otira he mea ano taku ki a koe, kua whakarerea e koe tou aroha tuatahi.
But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
5 Na, kia mahara ki te wahi i taka iho ai koe, ripeneta, mahia hoki nga mahi o mua; ki te kahore, ka hohoro toku haere atu ki a koe, ka nekehia atu e ahau tou turanga rama i tona wahi, ki te kore koe e ripeneta.
Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
6 Ko tenei ia tau na, e kino ana koe ki nga hanga a nga Nikoraiti, e kinongia nei hoki e ahau.
But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi: Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka hoatu e ahau mana e kai to te rakau o te ora, e tu ana i waenganui o te Paraiha o te Atua.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Rukha says to the congregations. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
8 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Hamurana; Ko nga kupu enei a te tuatahi, a te whakamutunga, i mate nei, a kua ora ano:
"To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
9 Ka matau ahau ki tou tukinotanga, ki tou rawakoretanga; engari he whai rawa tonu koe; e matau ana ano ahau ki nga hahani a te hunga e mea nei he Hurai ratou, a ehara, engari ko te whakamenenga ratou a Hatana.
"I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satana.
10 Kaua e wehi ki nga mamae meake nei pa ki a koe; na, tera e maka etahi o koutou e te rewera ki te whare herehere, kia whakamatautauria ai koutou; a ka whakamamaetia koutou kotahi tekau nga ra. Kia pono koe a mate noa, a maku e hoatu ki a koe te k arauna o te ora.
Do not be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi; Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, e kore ia e he i te matenga tuarua.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Rukha says to the congregations. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
12 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Perekamu; Ko nga kupu enei a te kaimau i te hoari koi, i te mea matarua;
"To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
13 Ka matau ahau ki te wahi e noho na koe, ko te wahi ia i te torona o Hatana: e mau ana hoki koe ki toku ingoa, kahore hoki koe i whakakahore ki toku whakapono, i nga ra i ara i taku kaiwhakaatu pono, i a Anatipa, i whakamatea nei i roto i a kouto u i te wahi e noho na a Hatana.
"I know where you dwell, where Satana's throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satana dwells.
14 Tenei ia ETAHI MEA AKU KI A KOE, NO TE MEA KEI A KOE TE HUNGA E MAU ANA KI TE AKO A Paraama, nana nei i whakaako a Paraka ki te maka tutukitanga waewae ki te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira, i kai ai ratou i nga mea i patua ma te whakapakoko, i moe puku ai hoki.
But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Belam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the people of Israyel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
15 Kei a koe ano hoki te hunga e mau ana ki te ako a nga Nikoraiti, pera ano.
So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
16 No reira, ripeneta; na ki te kahore, ka hohoro toku haere atu ki a koe, a ka whawhaitia ratou e ahau ki te hoari a toku mangai.
Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi; Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka hoatu e ahau te mana huna, ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a ia he kohatu ma, me te ingoa hou, he mea tuhituhi ki te kohatu, e kore n ei e matauria e tetahi, ko te tangata anake e whiwhi ana.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Rukha says to the congregations. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.
18 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi o Taiataira; Ko nga kupu enei a te Tama a te Atua, ko ona kanohi nei me te mea he mura ahi, ona waewae rite tonu ki te parahi paiata;
"To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished bronze, says these things:
19 E matau ana ahau ki au mahi, ki tou aroha, ki tau mahi minita, ki tou whakapono, ki tou manawanui, a nui atu au mahi o muri nei i nga mea o mua.
"I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
20 Tenei ano ia etahi mea aku ki a koe, no te mea e tukua ana e koe taua wahine a Ietepere, e mea nei he poropiti ia; kei te whakaako, kei te kukume i aku pononga kia moepuku, kia kai ano hoki i nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko.
But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 A i hoatu e ahau ki a ia he taima e ripeneta ai ia; otira kahore ia e pai kia ripeneta i tana moepuku.
I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
22 Na, ka maka ia e ahau ki tetahi moenga, me te hunga e puremu ana ki a ia, ki roto ki te whiu taimaha, mehemea kahore ratou e ripeneta ki a ratou mahi.
Look, I will throw her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
23 Ka whakamatea hoki e ahau ana tamariki kia mate rawa; a ka matau nga hahi katoa ko ahau te kairapu i ta nga whatumanawa, i ta nga ngakau: ka rite hoki ki a koutou mahi taku e hoatu ai ki tenei, ki tenei o koutou.
I will kill her children with Death, and all the congregations will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
24 Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, ki era atu hoki i Taiataira, ki te hunga kahore nei i a ratou tenei ako, kahore ano kia matau ki nga mea hohonu a Hatana, ki ta ratou e korero nei; E kore e whakawaha e ahau tetahi atu mea taimaha ki a koutou.
But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who do not know what some call 'the deep things of Satana,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
25 Ko te mea ia i a koutou, puritia kia mau kia tae atu ra ano ahau.
Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
26 Na, ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ko te tangata hoki e puritia e ia aku mahi taea noatia te mutunga, maku e hoatu ki a ia he mana rangatira ki nga tauiwi:
He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
27 He rino hoki te tokotoko e whakahaere tikanga ai ia mo ratou, ka pera i nga oko a te kaipokepoke paru, ka pakaru ririki; ka rite ki ta toku matua i homai ai ki ahau:
He will rule them with an iron scepter, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:
28 A ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia te whetu o te ata.
and I will give him the morning star.
29 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Rukha says to the congregations.
